Critical Steps — Do Not Skip

Chef Tips from the Video
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika to the mayo for extra depth.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle a few toasted sesame seeds on the top bun.
- If you like extra heat, drizzle a few drops of extra hot sauce directly on the patty before closing the sandwich.
Troubleshooting
Patty sticks to the pan.
Make sure the pan is hot and coated with enough oil before adding the patty. Use a non‑stick skillet if needed.
Bun becomes soggy.
Toast the bun lightly and spread sauces sparingly. Add a layer of shredded cabbage first to act as a barrier.
Patty is dry.
Do not overcook; grill only 1‑2 minutes per side and keep the patty slightly pink inside.
Storage
Refrigerator: Store leftover patty, sauces, and fried potatoes in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Canned patty can be kept unopened in the freezer indefinitely; cooked patty freezes well for up to 2 months.
Room temperature: Unopened buns stay fresh at room temperature for 2 days; keep away from humidity.
Make-Ahead Tips
- Grill extra patties and store them refrigerated for quick assembly later.
- Pre‑slice tomato, pepper, and shred cabbage; keep them in separate containers.
- Use frozen pre‑cooked fries; they reheat quickly in the pan.
